The Energy Gang

Covering breaking news in clean tech, going deep on global energy policy, and debating the levers that need to move to accelerate the energy transition. Energy Gang is the podcast covering clean energy technology, renewable energy, and the environment. The world of clean energy moves fast, and you need a reliable source to stay on top of the news that matters. You’ll find it on Wood Mackenzie’s Energy Gang.How will changes to the US government affect decarbonisation and energy security? When will hydrogen, nuclear and carbon capture deploy at scale? Where’s the money for the energy transition...

Said on The Energy Gang

“In the latest conflict between Iran and the coalition, the weaker side had a clear strategy to go after the other side's compute, meaning go after data centers. And of course we now realize that most data centers have not been built with conflict in mind, are not hardened, are not resilient in that respect. So this is clearly a rethink that needs to happen there.” — Caspar Herzberg, The Energy Gang

“AI factories, these large data centers, you have to treat them like factories. They're not data centers, like some little thing that in the past a startup used to build. These are massive installations, and we should treat them as true industrial sites. … The way data centers are designed and built today is more on a one-off basis still. The more you standardize that, and the more you're able to do process simulation within these large AI factories, that saves you energy, that allows you to sell that energy back to the community.” — Caspar Herzberg, The Energy Gang

“The utilities are a sector where it's very slow until it's proven, and then everybody goes to the same conferences, everybody talks to each other, and if a solution works, then everybody adopts it. So it's slow, slow, slow until it's really fast.” — George Rutter, The Energy Gang

“If you look at last year, record year for demand for oil, record year for gas, record year for coal, which I think much of the Western world left for dead, but demand for that is still growing. And at the same time, you are trying to transition. So rather than replacement, it's become more a story about energy addition.” — Harry Mateer, The Energy Gang

“In America, we have 30 million acres of corn that we grow for ethanol, gasoline. That produces 3% of America's energy. That same 30 million acres, if you covered them with solar panels, would produce about 100% of the energy that America uses.” — Bill McKibben, The Energy Gang
